Akshay Kumar To Start Martial Arts School For Women

Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar, who was a professional martial art trainer before he started his acting career, is now all set to launch a martial arts school to give self-defense training to women.

Akshay and Yuva Sena Chief Aaditya Thackeray have come up with this initiative and they are planning to inaugurate the first school by May 2014 at Mumbai's Andheri Sports Complex and the duo is planning to open many such schools in future to train women of all age groups in self-defense techniques.

Akshay says, ''I am thankful to Aaditya Thackeray for coming up with the idea and also lending his complete support. This initiative is very close to my heart.'' Aaditya has been quoted saying that the training imparted in these schools would be simple and practical.
